Magnificent they stand, one of the most iconic features of Ireland’s landscape – the Cliffs of Moher. Stretching across eight kilometres along the Atlantic coastline of County Clare, is it any wonder that they are Ireland’s most visited natural attraction with over one million people coming to experience the cliffs for themselves each year?
Despite the cold, the winter sun shone brightly on my visit to the Cliffs of Moher last November. Driving from Ennistimon towards Lahinch and on to the cliffs, now a Signature Discovery Point, in the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way, I couldn’t wait to finally experience what I had only ever seen on postcards and television.
Standing 702 feet at their highest point, on a clear day visitors may be lucky enough to see the Aran Islands and Galway Bay to the west as well as the Dingle Peninsula and the Blasket Islands in Kerry. The Cliffs of Moher translated means ‘the cliffs of the ruined fort’ and although there is no trace remaining of this two thousand year old Mothar fort, Moher Tower stands in its place today.
It is believed the cliffs are over 320 million years old, dating back to when Ireland’s ancient rivers laid down sediments on the seabed to form the rocks of the Cliffs of Moher – sandstone, siltstone and shale. It’s only in more recent times that their unique beauty has been so widely appreciated.

At the westernmost edge of Ireland, the rugged Cliffs of Moher tower almost 702 feet above sea level. Considered by many to be the absolute best place to visit in Ireland, this jagged coastline stretches for five miles along the ocean. There are surely few places in Ireland more dramatic than the striated limestone cliffs, which are constantly being lashed by the Atlantic waves and winds.
When not shrouded by thick, gray fog and sheets of rain, it’s possible to see as far west as the Aran Islands (the view from the top is one of the most iconic in the world). For many, Ireland’s unmanicured western coast is something of a dream trip — and the Cliffs of Moher are often a highlight.
